Amherst College

Amherst, Massachusetts · opened 1955lost 1973

College operated a small rope tow ski area on Memorial Hill in Amherst from the 1950's to the early 1970's. As of 2007, the area is off limits for any winter sports due to liability issues. To the right is a Terraserver shot of the site of the ski hill, basically an open field. Memories Alan: Memorial hill at Amherst college (my alma mater) up until the early 70's (before 74 when I was freshman), there was a rope tow from the bottom of memorial hill to the top............people used to ski down.......
